Chuck Rinkes ’91, ’01 MAE, ’17 EDS was honored by the Ohio Association of Secondary School Administrators (OSSA) as the 2018 High School Principal of the Year Award.
A 27-year career educator, Mr. Rinkes is Principal of River View High School in Warsaw, Ohio.

He has held multiple leadership roles in Ohio professional education associations and has also coached high school sports, including golf and baseball.
In announcing the award, OSSA praised Mr. Rinkes as “an individual of great integrity, who routinely sacrifices in order to give to others,” noting that he is a “mentor, an educational leader who pushes his staff and students to be their very best.”
Mr. Rinkes received his award at an April 13, 2018 River View High School assembly, where his secretary, Angie Speicher, was also honored as the Secretary of the Year by OSSA. It is the first time that OSSA has honored two individuals in the same school district and building with these awards in the same year.
